Whilst diesel fuel is the engine’s energy source, it also performs several other key roles:

Cooling – by circulating through the injection system and absorbing unwanted heat

Lubrication – by separating the moving components in the fuel feed and injection pumps

Cleansing – by transferring contaminants to the fuel filter(s), where they are removed

Fuel systems are affected by various forms of contamination such as particulates, water, paraffin wax and asphaltene. Cummins Filtration is leading the way with new technologies in fuel filtration to removal harmful contaminants, thus improving reliability, service intervals and fuel efficiencies, and reducing costs.

Fleetguard offers two types of fuel filters:

Fuel/Water Separators (FS) – Separate water from the fuel and remove large contaminants

Cummins Filtration offers a first line of defense at the fuel storage tank to ensure clean fuel reaches the engine system of your equipment. High performance Fleetguard fuel island filters offer superior protection plus a troubleshooting diagnostic tool that allows for longer service intervals.
